BISHOP OF ERXE FOUNDER OF PREP JOHN MARK GANNGN, D.D., D.C.L., LL.D A Salute to the Bishop! Photographers, amateurs and professionals, beginners and experts have taken innumerable snapshots and portraits of the Bishop of Erie. Pictures in The Rambler have immortalized him at quarter sessions. Flanked by a kneeling, praying Prep School, his admirers have snapped him at Friday morning meditations. Other candid camera enthusiasts have pictured him walking through his Center or watching the Prep cage com' bines in action. But no one has ever clicked a shutter on the one picture we will always remember. The picture which we will always cherish as an outstanding feature of Prep days is simply--a man at a window. We will remember MESH, Viyifi a tall, stately man faultlessly groomed in black, edged with the royal purple of the hierarchy, standing, looking across the campus paternally to guide tomorrow's leaders. He does more than just watch, he sends a part of himself with each boy in the form of his inspiring words: Esto Viv, Vae Victis, Veritas, and a dozen other little gospels. We see this picture through rain and snow and sunshine and are sure that the haze of time will only serve to magnify that pleasing portrait. ' A . 1 , I On meeting him, a Prepster discovers an amiable, dynamic per' l sonality with a countenance of a judge, or a bank president, but above all, ofa l A A V Bishop. Cther people see clear eyes, a broad, responsible forehead, and a priestly glow. A Prepster sees be' yond, into the mind of a great educator. In that orderly, active mind, a legion of men work feverishly with drawing boards and protractors and lay the foundations of modern, better sancf 'twhat mfg you going I0 bg, Son? tuaries of Catholic instruction. There, l f v v v too, we see teachers, priests, nuns, and laymen with the Church's golden hooks of infallible knowledge and the steel volumes of material and scientific data. In that mind, the multi tudinous activities of pastor, nun, worker, and student are channeled into the final endfstalwart Ca the olic leadership. Kneeling to kiss his ring, we see hands which are the embodiment of countless other hands that he has directed to Gods service. We see the grimy, sweaty ones of a laborer working on Gannon Collegels new addition, the calloused but supple hands of a mason laying another stone in the Cathedral Center. More than this. we see the hopeful hands of a child in grade school hungrily reach' Quaytey Sessions ing out for the nourishment of Catholic X principles. We see too, the expert hand of a Prep graduate confidently manipulating the throttle of America's destiny. Lastly, we envision the revf erent, meditative hands of his priests and nuns helping him to guide the men of tomorrow. A Bishop, by the very majesty of his title and responsibility, seems forbiddingly unapproachableg but even behind that window, our Bishop is singularly close to every Prepster. But down among his boys he is even nearer to a Prepster's heart. Day or night, ments ful chat never too rushed for a calm imparting of valued advice He doesn t use the term my boys for high sounding phraseology but wher ever he may travel he boasts of us as we do of him On returning he brings back to us the best of the latest improvements enabling us to rel eat his fond statement that Prep is the best little college in the nation For this all thanks and credit to him No. 1 Fan For twenty five years a quarter of a century through boom time depression recovery war time and up till now from the Pioneers of 21 to the Silver Seniors of 47 from the cellar to the tower from 100 to 700 from the Subterranean News and The Cryptic to The Rarnb ler through good seasons and bad seasons through victory and defeat past twenty five Glorious June milestones our Bishop has guided his faltering growing Prep school Prep has become under him not just an ultra modern building but the accomplishment of a life long ideal We will strive to make regardless of previous commit' he is never too busy for a help' I grant you a free day Mfr The M edzator -ll i 's Wifi 'lx 11 Q Z l VI' DILIGATI INVFFM I our Bishop as proud of his boys as they have always been of their Bishop and his work When we show a visitor around we point to the red house on the corner and say The Bishop lives there When we re alone we look up and say Thanks john Mark Gannon our Bishop William C Becker Editor in Chief Prep Headmasters of the Past Reverend Victor F.

Geddes, A.B. -Wrestling, Boxing The Prep Spirit HE Prep of the catacombs is gone and will never return save in the nostalgic musings of professors wishing vainly for the good old days. The old Prep still lives, however, in every action undertaken by a Prepster and especially in the Prep Spirit. Spirit is the result of time, of training, and of the effects of ideals and realities on the human brain. Spirit is intangibleg it can be felt, but only its results can be seen. It can be built or torn down, ridiculed with scorn or praised in glowingly euphonistic language. But unless its scent permeate our every thought, and its ideals guide our every act, and its reality dictate our entire being, it is useless and insipid no matter how much noise it makes in the heat of a hardwood or gridiron battle. Prep Spirit is noise and inf spiration. Prep Spirit, you see, is distinctive. All court and grid combines usually wear uniforms symbolic of the school they represent, and they are set apart from other teams only by their skill or an exceptionally flamboyant fgarb. Prep teams, however, wear not only the Orange and Black on the outside, but the same spotlessly White cloak of religion on the inside. This is what makes Prep huddles and gatherings meaningful. Prep boys are not regimented, the style of dress in the corridors is as different as day and night. yet they are all uniformaly outfitted in the identical robes of faith. Prep Spirit is the inward swelling of pride which you feel as you gaze down at your class ring. The pureness and nobility of gold is like the symbolic orange of our school colors, the pure, flaming orange of knowledge originating and growing out of the solid black of fundamental truth. As Seniors, who have absorbed the spirit and the letter of the Prep law for four years, we will have much more after that certain June date than a good education. We will have a way of life and correct concepts for every exigency of tomorrow. The secret behind this superior PfRfEfPfaration is the union of Tabernacle and textfbook. It is the effect achieved by the channeling of the benefits of the Cathedral, the administrative ofhces, the classrocm, and the gym for the individual advancement of every Prepster. It is that powerful, unwritten understanding and singleness of purpose of Episcopal mitre, Roman collar, somber habit, and gay cravat. It is Prep Spirit. William C.

Serious and studious in school, humorous and funfloving outside, he had the necessary ingredients for a regular Prepster. Dick is a talented writer and a literary connoisseur. He was usually seen about the school as the everfpresent shadow of one of our fighting eleven-Dave Anthony. Dickls abilities will pay dividends in the field of business and finance. FREDERICK ALOYSIUS ADAMUS Holy Rosary Forza, With Prep pride, we present our farmfloving lad from Buffalo Road, Fritz Adamus, whose wide interests range from enthusiastic cheerfleading to clever football and the bizarre sideline of collecting match covers. Fritz is our muscular manfmountain Dean on the gridiron and our Henry Aldrich in class. He has high hopes of becoming an electrical engineer after training at the Rambling Wreck of Georgia Tech. He is one of our Prepsters, who always worked hard but rarely complained. DAVID VINCENT ANTHONY Holy Rosary HPunjabH Dave's nickname is one that describes his size and strength, but he is known to all for his easyfgoing, nonchalant manner. Punjab possesses a very sharp wit and a mania for the ridiculous, and his sunshine personality is as obvious as the nose on his face! He is also a threefyear tackle, having gained gridiron fame for his ninetyfyard run against Vincent in '45. He is an honor student, Council representative, and vice' president of the Senior class. The University of Duquesne will one day proudly claim him as an alumnus. GERALD ANTHONY ARNOLD St. Josephs ferry A goodfnatured fellow, Jerry will always be remembered for his natty apparel and neat appearf ance. Not quite a Weismuller, his prowess has, nevertheless, contributed immeasurably to the success of our water polo and swimming teams. In the English classes, Jerrry is an accomplished versifierg in the Glee Club, his mellow, Comoflike voice has been the inf spiration of his fellow choristers. Hunting and fishing are his private delights. He plans to sail the seven seas with the United States Marine Cadet Corps. ROBERT JAMES BABO St. Mary's Tank Bob joined us in the Sophomore year. His suave, affable manner has made him an individual much snught after because of his winning disposition. Not once during the four years did We catch Bob in an angry or depressed mood. As a runner on this year's crossfcountry team, he squared his shoulders, trimmed his waist, and became the tailor's delight of the Senior class. Tinkering, mostly with cars, is the avocation which fits him for the mortar and pestle world of beakers and test tubes. CHARLES ANTHONY BALBUZA St. Stanislaus' Charlie Charlie's glasses, smiling diligence, im' maculate attire, and his absolutely infallible loyalty have been his trademark for four years. Work, and more work, day by day, have been his formula for scholastic success. His main hobby is the field of stamp collecting with photography as a close second. just window shopping for his life's work, he will first get his Bachelor of Arts degree from Gannon. Charlie's prudence and perseverance insure his future against any loss. WILLIAM CHRISTIAN BECKER St. .lohn's Wild Bill Dynamic, persuasive, and possessing a sense of leadership, W. C. has probably merited more honors and medals than any other young man in the Prep. As a speaker, he has the magnetism of a Fulton Sheen, as a writer, he displays the flamboyancy of a Pegler and the dignity of a Calsvvorthy. His resonant radio voice earned for him the Father McManaman Oratorf ical Medal two years in a row and chairmanship of the debating club. He served as cofeditor of The Rambler, editorfinfchief of The Literulae, and Student Council member. Our president of '47, after a law course at the University of Pennsylvania, will help judges and juries keep the sensitive scales of justice wellfbalanced. THOMAS ANTHONY BERNARDINI St. Josephs Tom Bernie has been our scientific and mathematical luminary. The silently studious type, he has gone unobserved about his multiple tasks with incredible results. His class compositions were always as neat as a C. P. A.'s books. He is a member of the P. A. C. and an avid participant in the criminology club. After high school, Tom expects to pursue the world of acids and reactions. He is the patient, unruiiled, experimental type to whom science extends a welf come hand. -f-In ,ln M1199 CLARENCE GILBERT BOEHM Sacred Heart Sonny Joining us in his Junior year, Sonny is Academy's chief contribution to '47. Sonny has brightened our corridors with his winning personality and his ever' popular accordion. Clarence played with the varsity gridders for two years and in the spring was a cinder man on our original track squad. Besides music, spare time finds him in the radio club. Sonny intends to matriculate at Notre Dame and seems destined for a niche in Science's Hall of Fame. JOSEPH HERMAN BOHRER St. John's Ll.-loci! After his first two years, joe left for the Spartan School in Tulsa for a course in meteorology. Since his return, he has been the weather prognosticator extraordinary. He is a mature, scholarly student who has become one of the district's best private pilots in his spare time and an honor student at school. He intends to go on to Gannon, M.I.T., and a degree in physics preparatory to a future in the weather bureau. If his past is any indication, Joe will be much more cooperative than the proverbial cloudfcaller. HARRY ANTHONY BOWERSOX St. John's i'Bu.dl' Harry has been unobstrusively but influentially present for four long years. His steady pursuance of duties masks an amiable personality revealed in his love of hunting and fishing. He collects stamps and provides the driving force behind the taxidermy club. He is inclined toward the security and promise of a job in the postal department, and if the future mail rate goes plummeting down from three cents, Bud will probably be one of the instigators behind the improvement. CARLTON JOSEPH BRABENDER Sacred Heart 'iCudu A personable socialite is our own Cudu. His main talent lies in dancing, and he claims the honor of escorting a Queen to a Villa Prom. An ardent admirer of the fairer sex, he captivates starfdusters with his winning smile and cheerful disposition. Because of his job at Laver's, his achievements in athletics have been limited to IntrafMural football. Cudu whiles away his leisure time stamp collecting. His future vocation still uncertain, he intends to go to college when leaves start turning to gold in the a I JOSEPH PETER BRENOT St. Peter's Pete J. P. is easily the paradox of '47. His moods, accomplishments, ideas, and general information have been legion and legend for four long years. Pete collects stamps and graces the radio and camera clubs with his magnetic presence. He served as a cheerleader for two years. Pete's ambition is the field of hydraulic engineering, and although he has not won honors, he is recognized by all as one of our scholastic lights with a very bright future in enginf eering. JOHN JOSEPH BROSNAN Sacred Heart ajoss.. Joss Qtaken from john and Brosj is a cleanfcut fellow who talks less than silent Cal Coolidge, but his sterling voice is more than audible in the Clee Club. As a leftfhalf on the IV football team, he streaked across the greensward. Stocks and bonds, profit and loss, selling and buying draw this steady solid Prepster to the business world. We predict he will accumulate a wealth of worldly lucre and of valuable friends. EDWARD ALBERT BRUNNER Sacred Heart Eddie Eddie is truly a representative Prepster. As a cheerleader, he was a vociferous backer of school teams, and he projected his golden tones into the debating club. An industrious student, Eddie has consistently won honors, and in his Freshman year, he received the scholarship award. His literary inf terests, and they were multitudinous, directed him to The Rambler and The Litefulae staffs. We see in Eddie promise of a congenial, successful city lawyer, who will administer justice kindly but firmly. LAWRENCE PHILIP BULA St. Stanislaus' Larry This rollicking towhead entered Prep as a fiveffoot Freshman, but as a Senior, he is crowding six feet and still growing. A wholesome, helpful, earnest individual, he radiates good example to all undergrads. He served on the Junior Prom committee and untiringly served on the intrafmural cage and grid squads. The teachers will remember Larry for his nevermissfdailyfwork spirit. At Gannon College this fall, Larry will specialize in English and live a life consecrated to dictionaries, grammars, and literary anthologies. ROBERT WILLIAM COHAN St. joseph's-Warren, Pa. Bob Sensibly serious yet constantly cheery, Bob has resided at St. Mark's and labored in our midst for three years. At St. Mark's, he was the Assistant Student Prefect, Dean of Studies, and the ideally conscientious seminarian. His hobbies are basket' ball, billiards, and plastics. Blessed with a Going My Way wit and a Father Flanagan understanding, Bob will certainly inspire his parishoners to world' changing goodness whether he is assigned to our majestic Cathedral or to a small parish in Cod's country. ROBERT MATTHEW CUSTER Holy Family Pie Bob found his way to Prep from East in his Sophof more year, and We will undoubtedly remember him as the soberest boy in the class. Imperturbably, he sauntered from room to room with his mind dwelling in the depths of thought. Bob put in a season as a miler with the track team, and, in his spare time, he liked to read short stories and tear the insides out of Marconi's pet invention. He hopes to Wear bell' bottomed trousers next June. ERNEST JAMES DALEY St. Patrick's-Franklin, Pa. Ernie Tall and thin, Ernie emits rosy beams of cheer and benevolence wherever he appears. A studious nature has marked him as a betterfthanfaverage student, and the amiable atmosphere he creates has been his passport everywhere. In his spare moments, an urge to click the shutter has qualified him as an amateur photographer. Ernest is headed for the serious study of the priesthood at St. Bonaventure's College. The Roman collar and black suit will be becoming to him. GILIO LOUIS DI PRE St. James'-Driftwood, Pa. SLG!! A statue of G for posterity might easily be called the listener as our seminarian is noted for the gift of speaking only when he has something vitally important to say. Unobtrusivef ly joining us in his junior year, he proved himself an able and likeable student. His love of hunt' ing and fishing was satiated in the Woods and streams of beautifullyfforrested Dent's Run. His doforfdie tactics won him a berth on the St. Mark's Hall basketeers. He hopes to enter Gannon College and prepare for the priesthood. JOHN EDWARD EARLEY Sacred Heart Lhjakeii Sacred Heart's Smiling Irishman is one of those boys who is always in good humor, excepting of course at test time. Nature gifted jake with a poetic aptitude, but football and basketball took up most of his time. He worked earnestly as a Varsity center on the pigskin team after experience on the Jayvee squad. But sports are subordinate to jake's lifetime ambition of becoming an electrical engineer. In September he will ascend the stately steps of Gannon College. RICHARD CLARENCE ESSER Saint Mary's Dick Radiating all the gentlemanliness of a Ronald Coleman, Dick is as cleanfcut as a newfshaven band leader. He had the uncanny knack of combining athletic prowess, social finesse, and serious study into onemagnetic, friendly character. Our best dressed man, active on the gridiron, hardwood, and cinderfpath, also preserved our class from finanf cial embarrassment as class treasurer. Always the student, he possesses an impressive collection of honor cards. Dick will carry with him his mannerly temperf ament into the sphere of medicine, via Georgetown University. JAMES GERALD FLYNN St. Peter's uhm.. Gentlefvoice, virile, and studious-is Jim in three words. His Fuller Brush beard was the result of the football team's losing streak in 1945 Che vowed he wouldn't shave until Prep had won a gamej. But beard and all, jim was a cleanfcut Prepster. He served as assistant editor of The Rambler, unbeatable snare drummer in the band, and member of the track and crossfcountry teams. jim at present is planning on a brief Army career, then on to make Gene Krupa look like an amateur. THOMAS AQUINAS FRANCIS Blessed Sacrament L 1 5 Tom is our equestrian authority. Usually quiet and not easily provoked, he rises to oratorical elof quence when horses are introduced into the conf versation. On our committees, he has always served as a hard worker. An accomplished musician, he plays the violin and with his bass drum drowns out the entire band. He has a student pilot's license to his credit QD. In summary, he's always either horsing around with a fiddle or fiddling around with a horse. We'll lay ten to one on T's success. RICHARD JAMES FRIEDRICHS St. Peter's Dick Flashbulb, is a familiar sight at any and all functions with his ever constant companion, the camera. Head of the photography club, Rambler and 'Yearbook bulb flasher, an honor student, and a diligent committee member, Dick possesses a serene and placid nature which can be violently argumenf tative at the hint of any untimely mistake. He is the Jose Iturbi of '47, and this skill on the keys is augmented by ventures in art and Woodworking. His conscientious zeal will one day make him an out' standing priest. JAMES EDWARD FROMKNECHT Sacred Heart uhm.. Unvarying and industrious are the attributes of this gift of Marvintovvn to our ranks. After three years of razorfthin misses, jim made the honor roll in his Senior year and he expects to go on to Gannon, business training, and eventually a C. P. A. tag. Social life, especially dancing, popular dance records, stamp collecting, the plastics club and Terry's store have occupied all his spare time. We're conf fident that jim will take into his future work the same dependability that has distinguished him here. JAMES JOSEPH FUHRMAN Sacred Heart Simon Contrary to public opinion, jim was not named after Simon Legree. A goodfnatured, reliable handyf man, he is one of the outstanding figures of our class. His athletic achievements include the honor of being the only fourfyear football player in the class of '47, and jim has also Won himself distinction in baseball, basketball, and swimming. He is a rolyfpoly Sinatra in disguise and poet of the foot' ball team. Future sportfpage headlines will feature Coach Jim's proteges. DAVID EDWARD GENSHEIMER Sacred Heart ' 'Dave' ' Friendly, hardfvvorking, and precise is this Senior who is easily the brain of '47. A consistent honor student, the recipient of the Junior general excelf lence award, and associate editor of The Rambler and The Litemlae, Dave has personified the famous Prep scholastic spirit. During his leisure hours, he is a masterly pianist of Levant proportions and a dabbler in radio. His diligence and brilliance should continue to benefit him in his studies to become an eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist. Dave will be the ideal, skillful, and sympathetic doctor. ROBERT ERNEST GIBSON St. Paul's Episcopal Buster The combination of a handsome mien and a pleasf ing personality marks Buster as one of our best. He can fly a plane a la Doolittle, hunt with the shrewdness of a master, or date a girl with the ease of Robert Taylor. An accomplished swimmer, he saw two years of action with Preps first swimming team and received allfscholastic mention in water polo. When not dripping with aqua, he served very capably on The Rambler and Literulae staffs. Seemingly .born with fins, Bob intends to enter the U. S. Naval Academy, ADAM ALLAN GORSKI Holy Rosary Sonny Adam has been everything from a star on the honor roll to the outstanding punter in this district. He played two years of IV basketball and three years of varsity football climaxing with a brilliant Senior year and a halffback spot on the D. H. allf scholastic eleven. Sonny is a shotfput, discus and relay man in the thinfclad sport and builds and flies airplanes in his free time. Adam's virile, independent outlook and his clearfthinking preview a remarkable future in aerodynamics at the Military Academy at West Point. JOHN FRANCIS GRENBERC Holy Trinity Hank Johnny's novel ideas on decorations have enabled our class to stage the most successful and sensational dances in Prep history. The Rainbow Rhapsody and the Serenade in Silver were his and Kurtis' brain storms. He organized and guided the Art Club to its present indispensable position and is responsible for the art work in this volume. Hank has been an honor student, bowls, collects stamps, builds model airplanes and on a busman's holiday, sketches. johnny wants to be an English professor, and his industriousness and correctness should serve him well in this calling. FRANCIS PATRICK GROSS St. Michael's Tank An outstanding athletic personality, Tank has 'not only given his service to the school but has established himself as a name in amateur boxing shows. He resembles a roughfandfready youth but amazes all with his poetic nature and Cavalleroflike instincts at the keyfboard. He was a frequent recipient of honors, served on dance committees, and warbled like Melchior in the Clee Club. Criminology and engineering attract him, but as yet he has not made his choice. Frank will set the world on fire-quietly. ' 'WP -ff! 'lx Eggs 5 a, H naw E ff i ,gtg if . ,Agia PAUL JOSEPH GUERREIN St. Andrew's Red If Red could cash his personality into gold, we would have a King Midas in our midst. His beaming, freckled face and witty humor distinctly label him as a very enjoyable companion. He is a member of the HallerfGuerreinfEzmarelda trio, Ezmarf elda being their high powered limousine of 1920. A hardworking student, he will prepare himself for a successful business career at the Wharton School of Finance. From all indications, we judge that his income tax will be very high. JOHN BURTON HAGERTY St. Peter's luijackii If there is anything that Jack isn't or hasn't tried to be, please notify Ripley. He will be remembered especially as the Ramblefs ace sportsfcaster and as Bill Stern's rival. His originality and lyric poetry have vitalized the Daily 'Times and The Litemlae. His allfthingsftofallfmen personality merited him an associate editorship of the Year Book, honor cards, number one berth among the cheerleaders, Student Council membership, and chairmanship of the plastics club. In his spare time, Jack relaxes by perusing tomes on journalism and by creating new tunes on the Baby' grand. We will not be surprised when Jack becomes the brilliant priestfeditor of the LakefShorefVisito'r Register. RICHARD EDWARD HALLER St. Andrew's Dick Dick, with his alter ego and sidekick Red Guerrein, has been a lovable member of our class. No one has ever succeeded in knowing his where' abouts or his occupation for more than one period in succession. Dick worked on the Junior Prom and participated in track. On his obviously authoritative advice, we record his hobby as women After undergraduate days, he intends to study at the Wharf ton School of Finance. When Dick settles down, he will become a financial wizard on Wall Street. HAROLD JOHN HARABEDIAN St. Peter's Harry Harry for two years was the fifth man in enemy backfields and sparked the Orange and Black diamond champs from the hot corner. Harry is known as the fly in Schroeck's ointment. Average in stature, humble Harry is long on courage and determination. He is a good scholar, taking pride in his knowledge of German and the intricasies of English grammar. He finds ample time for photography and meteorology, and his future will probably be dedicated to one of these fields. GERALD LAWRENCE HEALY St. john's-Girard, Pa. Gerry Gerry was the daily commuter who traveled a long way to get a Prep education. His avocation is music and wild stories about Girard and its football team when he starred QD on it. He has excelled in the field of science, developed into a good writer, and plans to study civil engineering at Notre Dame. His happyfgoflucky, neverfsayfdie spirit and careful attention to detail should make him an engineer that will label Girard the hub of the universe. THOMAS WALTER HEUBEL St. Ann's Tommy In his own words, Tommy is God's gift to women but beyond that he is a thoroughly likeable, cooperative, and energetic classmate. His poetic sense produces some of our better verse and exf presses itself in his love of the sea. For Tom, a blue sky, a warm sun, a row boat, and a fishing rod spell contentment. His avocation is photography. He was an ozonefseeking pole vaulter, a swimming luminary, and our highly eiiicient pigskin manager. Tom's exuberance and winning personality will make him a highly competent M. D. after that certain June date. RICHARD RAYMOND HILINSKI St. Stanislaus' Dick Dick is neat, precise and symbolizes the impecf cable gentleman. One cannot imagine him, unless almost buried in books and headed toward his second home, the library. He collects stamps and indulges in the delicate art of taxidermy. He is a seriousf minded, rabid reader of various and assorted subjects, and an amateur authority on all of them. Dick plans to make his favorite hobby, the piano, into a life' time work. Plan to attend when Carnegie hall ref sounds to his nimble fingers. JAMES EDWARD HIMES Saint Andrew's Slim Ever since the day Slim first stooped under the arch into the Prep catacombs, he has been chipping the framework above the doorways with that high and mighty head of his. An exceptionally carefree and agreeable attitude has helped Hiram to become universally wellfliked. Jimmy has been a spark of all prom committees, and he proved he could speak with unction at Quarter Sessions. Flight engineering is his main ambition, with possibly a ham'i radio station on the side. KW M-was MW' JOHN PETER HOBSON, JR. St. Anthony's, Cambridge Springs SKHyp0iK A witty personality and a talented writer, Hypo fthe best potfer hunter in Prepj came to us from a fresh water town, otherwise known as Springboro. A class officer for three years, Hypo was ever in the spotlight of Prep popularity. His literary abilities won for him an associate editorship of The Literalue. All Rambler readers must have read, at least twice, his famous fantasy on the atomic age, evidently prompted by some secret communication with Buck Rogers. Hypo's heart beats in the world of medicine, where he hopes to follow in the footsteps of his father. THOMAS CHARLES HOFFMAN St. Joseph's Torn A real gofgetter with a natural business temperaf ment-that's Tom-Literulae business manager. His mincy smile and ready word on any managerial prob' lem of the Class of '47 were in demand more than free days. Without his planned advertising campaign, our mellow Rainbow Rhapsody might well have been the Rainbow Relapseg or the smooth Serenade in Silver, the Serenade in Debt. Tom's exact neat technique will ensure him a successful career in the world of dollars and cents. EDWARD PAUL HYZIEWICZ St. Stanislaus' Eddie Take a tall, husky frame, put into it manly spirf ituality, academic skill, allfscholastic athletic ability, and straightffromfthefheart genialityg and, presto, you have our Eddie. During his colorful Prep life, he was an allfcity gridiron end, brilliant hardwood guard, and a fleetffooted miler on the cinders. When he receives his diploma, he will climax eighteen hundred and twenty five days of fruitful study, and he will terminate a successful presidency of the the Student Council. While Eddie hopes ultimate' ly to return to Prep as an instructor, his immediate future will take him to Holy Cross, then the Sem' inary. JOHN PATRICK JANULESKI Holy Rosary ss-Ianss Jan is the lad who, from his wellfdefended guard post, captained '47's nigh perfect grid combine to, an unprecedented record of seven victories and three: losses. This humble, selffeffacing Senior wasa member- of the Student Council, where his quietly perff suasive voice, solid common sense, and inspiring cooperation made him a true champion of student: rights. He is pleasantly bashful and blushes easily and often, except when hunting, fishing, or camping.. On the cinder paths, he uses his gritty determinaf tion as a quarter miler, and Johnny is sure to breast the tape of success in first place. RICHARD JOSEPH JUSTKA St. Patricks Dick Ever-unrufiled, docile, and neat as a cadet, Dick is a mirror of humility. He possesses a personality which echoes, not the brass of Harry James, but the smoothness of a Wayiie King string ensemble. Scholarship is a part of him, that is the reason for his collection of honor cards. We know that he will merit all A's in college, not only in scaling the scholf astic heights but also in making lifetime friends. Dick's certain success will be a living proof of the scriptural truism that the humble shall be exalted. THOMAS DAVID KACZMAREK Holy Trinity .KT-Olmsq One of our best students, Tom has always been scholastically on top. Legend has it that this Pasteurf looking fellow actually studies for the fun of it. But with ,his studious inclinations, Tom, nevertheless, is socialfminded and has rendered valuable service on class committees. Also an enthusiastic hobbyist, he was secretary of the newly formed taxidermy club. His future has already been molded by his interests in the field of industrial research chemistry. Tom will continue his education at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he will undoubtedly be a credit to the class of '47. SYLVESTER JOSEPH KALISZEWSKI Holy Trinity Silver Silver pursues the construction of model airplanes as a hobby and lives up to his nickname by a flashy yet correct attire at all times. On cloudy days, his bright clothes always made the sun seem near. He is an inconf spicuously talented lad with a carefree mien hiding a serious interest in the field of mechanical engineering, which he plans to study at Northwestern. Silver should be very much at home in this field of ironf bound reality. JAMES FRANCIS KAMINSKY Sacred Heart .Jima Jim is a capfafpie sincere Senior whose laudable work inspires less ambitious classmates to better effort and whose ready smile dissipates the gloom of teachers and students alike. Dits, dats, and schematics now clutter his brain since he is currently interested in amateur radio. Relaxation in the Kaminskv world is found by fooling with mechanical and electrical devices. Jim's calm ease presage the unerring hands of a competent surgeon who in a few years will belong to the American College of Surgeons. .3-3 .I-7 ,J 6 I N' -- .

X - 5 v JR. --'.,.'m - -., .- n 4? .MW .wink ALBERT DONALD KAUFMAN Blessed Sacrament ILAF5 Poeticfbrowed Al, discernible at a distance by his manly gait, is even more striking at close range for his seemingly inexhaustible supply of belts. He explores the octaves with the Glee Club and hits the corners with a whipping racket and pliant wrist on the tennis court. Al's avid attention in physics class will bear abundant fruit when he enters the portals of Case School of Applied Science, where he will devote his energy to the study of energy. PAUL IRVIN KENNERKNECHT St. ,Ioseplfs Kenny A portalftofportal grin, with a love for talking, marks Kenny as one of our happyfgoflucky fellows. He can be serious although we are inclined to believe that his gravity is confined to the classfroom. Paul has shown that he can do anything once he makes up his mind, but lightning decisions seem to be ad' verse to his nature. His vocal chords established him as a first bass in the Glee Club, and he served as a very capable football manager. He plans to enter Cannon College. ALBERT RONALD KORN, JR. St. Mary's USAID, Al is the bigger of the fabulous Korn cousins and by virtue of constant repetition has finally achieved the position of never being confused with his other self. He played intramural basketball and was in second heaven listening to famous dance bands or dancing to their music when they visited our fair city. Extrafcurricularly, he worked at Meiser's and wants to own a store of his own, which we're sure will give service in the distinctively cheerful and friendly Korn manner. FREDERICK WILLIAM KORN Saint Andrew's Fritz Back in 1943 Saint Andrew's sent us proof that good things come in small packages. Since then Fritz has seldom been seen without that babyflike smile of his, and his tinkling laugh will probably still be bouncing around the halls long after he finally reaches fiveffeet. Singing seems to be half his lifeg he sang for two years in the piccolo section of the Glee Club. Graduation will probably catapult our miniature musicfbox into the intriguing depths of psychology. PAUL ELMER KREGER St. john's-Girard, Pa. Elmer Elmer, and he disclaims any credit for his sobrif quet, is an unswerving, earnest student with a Will Rogers' smile and a serious fascination for engines. His main sidelines are reading and mechanics at his Dad's garage. Transportation difliculties have pref vented extensive extracurricular activities, but after years of diligent application, Paul intends to take up mechanical engineering at Carnegie Tech. Success will be complete when Elmer can pilot his own cabin' cruiser across Lake Erie to Canadian ports. RICHARD THOMAS KRESS St. Peter's Dick Slow and easyfgoing, Dick is a portrait of serenity, Frank Leahy style. Definitely the strong taciturn type, he nevertheless possesses a short, rolling laugh which he uses on proper occassions. His vitality was expended as a Sophmore cheerleader, and his generosity was always with him in abundance Clike his fuzzy bearoj. Some day in the notftoofdistant future you may be raving about Dick's Super Groceteriasn-a dangerous rival to Loblaw's and the A E99 P. PAUL GEORGE KUNTZ St. johns Paul If Prep had the U. S. Army's classifications, Paulls would be 1A. To study, activities and sports, Paul always added a dash of sincerity. Gifted with an artistic sense, he was the homo sapiens when it came to planning class dances, decorations, and programs. Paul's thorough knowledge of printing and lithography was invaluable to the editors of The Literulae. On the side, he doodled with radios and voiced his musical opinion in the Glee Club. His future stamped with printer's ink, we know Paul will make an indelible impression. DONALD LLOYD KURTIS Sacred Heart ssDOn1s Rockwell has nothing on Kurtis when it comes to cartooning, for Don, our Rambler caricaturist, is marvelously proficient in art work. Kurtis and his shadow, Grenberg, made Prep the talk of the town with their Hollywood decorations at recent promsg and The Literulae is stamped with their artistic ideas. Don was a lively cheerleader and an agile tennis player. Don refuses to be rushed into a decision about his career, but he would like to work at commercial aft. JOHN ANTHONY KUZILLA St. Peter's and Paul's-Grassflat, Pa. Kelly John looks exactly as one would imagine a seminf arian should look. Studious, talented, and judiciously authoritative, he joined us in his Senior year and immediately vaulted to the first honor roll. Quick to make and keep friends among us, he was a good influence on all classfmates. Black, instead of having a somber effect, will lend itself easily to the pious, able priest who will probably occupy a professors chair at his beloved Prep. The art of teaching seems to be as natural for John as the art of conversation for Dr. Samuel Johnson. WALTER CHARLES LEPKOWSKI St. Johns Wally Flip has that 'Lsmilinfthroughn personality that makes for a dancer on the Astaire model and a carefree, versatile student of clever and talented proportions. He hunts, fishes, works on his car,and sells wallpaper at HA. Es? B. He tried intramural football and basketball, and in school, history was his best subject. His pet peeve is homework at night, but Wally will encounter much of this in his plans to study electrical engineering. We believe that Wally's electrical sucf cess will be achieved with the lightning ease which produces his inimitable smile. JOHN ROBERT LITTLE Holy Rosary ssEaTSS1 justly labeled Ears by friends and acquaintances, he spends his free time bowling, driving, and support' ing all types of sports. Besides this, he is a mainstay of the photography and radio clubs. Always a cheerful, willing helper and an energetic classmate, john unconsciously creates an atmosphere of- content' ment around him. He has not definitely decided upon his vocation or college for the good reason that he may be government property soon after graduation. Be that as it may, his good will, will be everyone's property. RICHARD RAY LYNCH St. Andrew's Dick Dick's keen sense of humor and rabid interest in all class affairs made their mark early and will linger long in the memory of '47. His sound parochial train' ing is reflected in his rockflike dependability. Long an avid stamp collector, he was quick to welcome a new diversion and hobby in the radio club. Dick is another of our buddies who has nourished a dying ambition to be an embalmer, who will revolutionize the funeral art by introducing service with a smile. JOSEPH ANTHONY MAJERSKY Holy Family Mujer Sincere, pleasantftoned joe missed Prep's initiaf tion ceremonies because his Freshman year was spent at Tech High. While working at Hamot Hospital, he was stung by a desire to be a laboratory technician, and this summarizes in two words his plans for the future. His interest in photography drew him into the camera club, and he has also acquired an impresf sive collection of classical records. With graduation just around the corner, Majer has been frantically investigating the procedure of initiation at Western Reserve. FRANCIS MICHAEL MALINOWSKI St. Hedgwig's Frank Mal is a tall and lanky double for Gary Cooper with the voice of a radio announcer CDon Wilson, take notej. He is an avid sports devotee and played intafmural basketball. Away from school, Frank is most often seen tramping through the woods in pursuit of a possible taxidermy victim. After 6f47 he intends to become an aeronautical engineer-an ever' changing field which will keep changing at a swifter pace with Mal's addition. JOHN PATRICK MANNINO St. Patrick's johnny Enveloped by a shy, cheerful air and graced by an unflustered, mellow temperament, johnny was the delight of the faculty and the needed elixir for his fellow classmates. Besides being a good, punctual student, he found time to play a little basketball and assist in his father's business. Come what may, we all hope that John will continue to sail along on the crest of success when he enters Gannon College to prepare for the holy priesthood. John surely will be an understanding priest. ALLAN DONALD IVIASCHARKA St. Pa trick's BLAZSW If you should hear a soft, LowellfThomas voice at your back, you can almost be sure it is Allan's. Possessing a poised calmness, he is very seldom at a loss for the right word at the right moment. When track season rolled around, he was the lad with mercuryfwinged feet who sped over thecinder track and crossfcountry turf. He is seriously thinking o pounding the keys as a sport's scribe, and he should progress at a rapid pace toward newspaper fame. l mn? 111 - ' ..-J LOUIS THOMAS MAZUR Saint Hedwig's Louie A streamlined physique, blond wavy hair, and just enough selffconfidence are the qualities of our candidate for the Prepster most likely to become a statesman. Louis' smashing power on the court has made him undefeated tennis king for three years, captain, and close runner in city tournaments. After graduation his line of flight is directed through Gannon College to Duquesne University, where I.ooie will switch courts to try his hand as a lawyer with a mind and heart seeking justice for all. JAMES PATRICK McCORMICK St. Johnls Mac Jolly Mac has decided, to our surprise, to transfer his mechanical genius from repairing wrecked auto' mobile bodies to working on the ones in the morgue- an unenviable profession. He played a year of JfV football and then dropped from the athletic scene to flllfer up at a service station. He is the Jeff of the Myers-McCormick Mutt and Jeff Act. Jimmy is popular because of his clownish antics, and we are confident that someday his name will be up in Neon lights - announcing McCormick's Funeral Home. PATRICK JOHN MC FADDEN Saint Andrew's LSPati1 Pat is accurately described as the kind of a person who would rather build a radio than listen to one. He came to Erie from a small town called Pittsburgh and has since become notorious for his strictly scientific approach. Encouraged by his appointment as presif dent of the radio club and seeing no light future in model airplanes, Pat has plotted his course toward a career in radio and electronics. His motto will most likely be, An FM radio in every home. RAYMOND JOHN MELE Blessed Sacrament C L 1 5 Dancing eyes feature the dark goodfnaturedness of this Roosevelt Jr. Hi product. He is an enthusiastic platter fan, music being his notfsofsecret passion. He has served on dance committees and also takes a vital interest in the sine wave club. He may enter the service before deciding permanently on a career, but it will probably be the field of chemistry. This broad field of research will receive a member, who will be certain to discover ultimate solutions. WILLIAM PAUL MESSM ER St. john's Mess Short and stocky, bigfhearted and gentlefnatured, Mess is sure to captivate you with his shy manner. Paul was our right hand man for all social activities and proved his worth on many an occasion. His hobby and vocation both lean toward the realm of flash bulbs and action shots and toward this end he will enter the Rochester School of Technology after graduation. When they institute a Pulitzer Prize for photography, Mess will take it shuttersfdown. ROBERT JOHN MEYER Saint joseph's Bob Since the beginning of his highfschool escapades, Robert Meyer has made more friends than Father Watson has made detention lists. Bob is a radio en' thusiast, and much of his time is spent in the south end of the physics lab, the radio club. Bob's friendf liness and good will will be remembered long after his blondish waves have been speckled with gray. His future is undecided, but we do know that his highfschool diploma will be his induction papers into Uncle Sam's Navy. JOHN EDWARD MILLER St. Stephen's-Oil City Ujockou This tall, CharlesfAtlas Senior came to us with four years of Oil City football and scholastics behind him. He magnetizes his acquaintances on first sight with his ready smile and radiant personality. Pursuf ing a stiff postfgrad course here, he relaxes by dabbling in oil painting. The Blue and Gold, and Tecumseh, the god of 2'5, beckon and will greet him as he joins the splendid Corps of Midshipmen at Anna' polis. john will look natural in a deep blue middy uniform. WILLIAM EDWARD MILLER St. james Bill Bill came to us as a Freshman-a modest, upright young man-and leaves us unchanged. He has distinguished himself as a quiet industrious, and particularly friendly type of fellow, who would rather work than talk. He was one of the few Sophof more cheerleaders and later on an eager member of the model airplane club. After graduation, Bill intends to enter the breezy business of airfconditionf ing and thereby make sultry summers a thing of the past. DANIEL EDWARD MONAGHAN Saint Peter's I l' n,, Likeable and unpredictable is an accurate sketch of the heavier half of the Monagahn and Murray Irish navy. When not hunting, fishing, or bowling, he is usually inventing a new masterpiece of witticism to be hurled against his favorite victim, Father Dan's new Chevrolet. Dan is also known as the business' man's hecklerg he never lost his point in getting patrons and ads for the Year Book. Autumn will find Diligent Daniel earnestly studying corporation law in the legal department of Georgetown University. HAROLD JOHN MULLIN Saint Andrew's Moon Harry entered Prep as the strong silent type, and he graduates not only as strong but even more silent than ever. But dispite his pleasant taciturnity, he has harassed many a teacher to the point of nervous prostration suffered at the explosion of one of his philosophical Nbombshell questions. However, Mr. Marietta predicts a critical calamity in the school's musical department when makefminefmusic Moon and his Benny Goodman clarinet become sentif mental statistics in the school files. PAUL JOHN MUROSKY St. John's Paul Paul, one of the luminaries of St. John's, is a Prep' ster who has the demeanor of a poet with the physique of an athlete. He achieved honors and worked on the yearbook. He is the high and broad jump man in track, a very capable hoopster, and the young man who pitched Cathedral Prep to our first city title in a never to be forgotten victory over East. He likes athletics and expects to try baseball after graduation. Paul has the determination and ability that will make him a bigfleaguer. JAMES EDWARD MURRAY St. Peter's Murph Murph is as Irish as a Pat and Mike story and as salty as Captain Kidd. Boats and water in any shape or form from his own sailboat to splashing with the water poloists have occupied most of his time. He is noted as the shrewd Shylock among auto dealers and as a nemesis to other hopefuls in his forte of racing small boats. He hopes one day to operate a super fleet of mammal chasers and for this end we wish Windy fair winds and smooth sailing. LEONARD FRANCIS OLOWINSKI Holy Trinity Whitey Whitey is that faultlessly groomed Senior who personifies the faithful Kreml user whose wavy blonde hair is the envy of male and female alike. His innate neatness carried over into school assignments, never marred by blots or erasures. He joined us in his Sophomore year from Academy and occupies his leisure hours with swimming, sailing, and delving into the wireless world. Leonards artistic temperaf ment is the easilyfread blueprint for future prominence in the field of architecture. GARRETT DAVID ORR St. Peter's SL Ty1i From Harrisburg, Gary brought with him a capital muscular frame and remarkable athletic ability. A Blanchard in football, a Boudreau in baseball, and in track, swimming, and basketball, a personilication of successful efffOrrft, he leaves behind him an illustrious sports record. Classmates expressed their appreciation by electing him Student Council representative for two years and vicefpresident of his class for the same period. Whether his future is electrical or chemical engineering, Cary's driving endeavor guarantees- not for months, not for years, but for life--a string of victories. CHARLES EDWARD ORTON St. Boniface--Hammette, Pa. Fletcher Fletcher is the Frank Buck of the Seniors who achieves his greatest satisfaction from bringing them back dead. He spends countless hours out of doors trapping, fishing, and hunting for deer and bear, or just enjoying the country scenes with his pet Beagle hound a la Englishman's style. The probability of Crton without an assignment is like june without graduation. He doesn't plan to pursue a higher education, but he'll be a thoroughfgoing success wherever he goes. FRANK RUDCLPH OSTROMECKI Holy Trinity 'iAce A goes with B, as Ace goes with his inseparable Babo. His closest associate and general allfround pet is his Chevie which occupies every spare moment. This pleasant, bashful, mildfmannered Senior's inf satiable curiosity once led him to investigate the inf flammable properties of gasoline-with explosive results. No scientist knows what electricity is, we think Ace will make the revolutuionary discovery in the electrical engineering schcol at Penn State with' out disturbing his usual cool composure. an 76 il ,i 'Qs -fl! MQ 'WW RICHARD ORIN POORMAN Sacred Heart-Sharon Dick Dick, the pride of Saint Mark's, has a congenial personality. And that, coupled with a smiley sense of humor, goes with Dick like sunset colors in a stainedfglass window. As halffyear editor of The Rambler, he displayed his literary talent, as a Litevulae business staff member, he proved that he had financial acumen. As a chorister in the Glee Club, he put Thomas L. Thomas to shame, and he represented our class for two years on the Student Council. Wherever he goes, Dick will bear with him his everfaffable manner and will make the worried, hopeful, the sad, cheerful. JOSEPH MARTIN PROCTOR St. Peter's Lbjocii Calm, unruflied, studious, Joe is the rock of '47, His all consuming avocation is music, the violin in particular, and he intends to continue his musical pursuits at Notre Dame. Joe has been an honor student, and during one of his rare talkative moods, he declared I want to invent a new language. He was a cheer leader, a loyal member of the Clee Club and orchestra, and a diligent committee helper. Joe's steadiness and dependability will be a foundaf tion for a Rubinolffrivaling career. DONALD JOSEPH PURCELL St. Ann's Purcy Don's curly, blonde hair tops a vimfladen perf sonality expressing itself in easy exuberance and constantly overflowing good will. He likes sports and participated in '47's sweep of the first sports night. His Crosbyfmello vocal ability featured the caroling of the gleefclub, and his classroom antics made even the most serious teachers smile. Purcy is going to prepare for a presently undetermined career, but one whose future we are sure will be as bright as his sparkling past. JOHN HERMAN RAHNER St. Joseph's Jack Friendly, cheerful, easyftofgetfalongfwith, that's our John. Strongfwilled and perservering, he has the unique distinction of being the most punctual boy in the class. Besides being an efficient, thorough student, Jack enjoyed all of Prep's colorful extra' curricular life, and, although a man of few words, he exerted a powerful influence by his constant good example. We know that John's laurels will be many. We know too that John will iight a good iight against all obstacles on the road to success. RICHARD THOMAS REGOTTI St. Tobias'-Brockway, Pa. Dick A strong advocate of the havefafgoodftimefwhilef youfcan policy, handsome, popular Dick joined us in his Fresman year. He is noted for his tall, laughf provoking tales about his second lovee-Brockway Cthar's gold in them thar hillsj. His first lovefsj may be conveniently located in his famous little black book. Although his sense of orthography failed him at times, he was elected class scribe and was an upper bracket student. He hopes someday to rind himself situated behind the swivelfchair of a molar' yanker. WILLIAM EDWARD REINHOLD St. Mary's Bill Bill, an American Legion winner in the grades, has achieved a medalist perfection in mathematics at Prep. His XfRay insight into the intricasies of algebraic 'and trigonometric brain bustersn has set him apart in this highly exact field. He has enjoyed molding plastics, and his four years here have shaped his unswerving character into a determined young man who intends to spend his life at your corner drug store passing out cures from behind the pharma' cist's counter. RICHARD HENRY RUNSER St. Josephs Hank Vociferous is the term which succintly def scribes our Literulae circulation manager. Restless and quick, Hank was invariably the center of many Social Problems' forums. Endowed with a touch of genius, he was usually an honor student and took all due credit in stride with an erupting chuckle, so characteristic of his carefree mood. Already the big radio chains are bidding for his services as an anf nouncer. And with his jewelry, clothing, and mortif cianary background, Hank will be able to undertake any assignment. LEWIS MATTHEW SAFRAN Sandy Lake, Pa. Lewie Lewie spent his first two years of highfschool in Sandy Lake, which he insists is somewhere in Penn' sylvania. His supreme interest is in Saint Bonavenf ture's and the priesthood, but in the meantime outdoor sports, especially hunting and swimming, enter the picture. His radiant spirit is accented by a natural ear'tofear smile, in fact, in years to come Lewie will probably become the smilingest Mon' signor ever to don the distinctive purple of that ofiice. 1 -f-R 'S IK DONALD EDWARD SANNER St. Mary's lnlDOn51 After trying Holy Rosary, Glenwood, Burton, Iefferson, and St. Mary's, Don found enough happiness and contentment here at Prep to prompt his longer stay and undoubtedly will always appreciate his Prep education. He likes hunting and fishing, and in the pursuit of these hobbies his skill as a photographer and as a taxidermist is highly beneficial. After june, Don wants to go to Gannon for a course in electricity. This dignified, smooth young man should be a dy' namic success in this current field. RICHARD JOSEPH SCHEMECK Holy Family Dick Hailing from Cathedral Latin of Cleveland, wellf built, deepfvoiced Dick joined us as a Junior. Within a short time, he was in the swing of things: varsity football, swimming, track, and school columnist for the Erie Times. You'll find him at all the school dances, and our guess is that his biggest problem is memorizing telephone numbers. Medicine points a beckoning finger, so Dick's next train ticket will probably be stamped to Athens and Ohio University. ALFRED RICHARD SCHRIEFER St. Georges-Kearsarge it Ali 'V Al is a handsome, dapper Senior with the grace ofa Gene Kelly on the dance floor. He was an intra' mural basketball and football regular and belonged to the criminology club. A perpetually charged jokester, he has the ability to assume an ambassadorf like seriousness at the wink of an eye. His charmf ingly apt smoothness made him the hub of socialf minded seniors. A business course at Gannon will goldfleaf Alis success in the world of profit and loss. FREDERICK JOHN SCHROECK Holy Rosary Fritz Our allfscholastic half back and state recordf maker in the javelin throw is strictly a jester. Fritzis uncanny ability to break the silence of an industrious study hall with a gurgling frog croak or an exuberant pop! is his trade mark. His recordfbreaking achievements in football, track, and baseball reveal a class A athlete, his scholastic laurels mark him a student's ideal. Fritz will pack away his helmet and javelin for a short time to don the khaki of the United States Army. Then it's off to college. RAYMOND FRANCIS SCHWAB Sacred Heart SKDOCVH Ray has the bearing of a soldier and the brow of a thinker. He is an eager participant in the sport of strikes, splits, and spares and also possesses a rather complete collection of German stamps. In a decade, the Raymond F. Schwab Interior Decorating Co. will be offering the latest in ultrafmodern designs and patterns, or Raymond F. Schwab, M. D., will be offering an atomic radiation cure for anything from growing pains to rheumatism. At any rate, Doc will wed, come wallpaper or sulfa. RICHARD CHARLES SCIBETTA St. Peter's Dick Versatility is the noun that fits Scibetts like a tailorfmade suit. He was an honor student, varsity halfback fa good one-ask Techl, piano virtuoso fdeluxe brandj, and the Junior and Senior Prom chair' man. Mr. Rhythm has been our poet laureate and onefman good will team. Dick was Rambler editor, officer of the Student Council, and an associate editor of this publication. He served as the Walter Winchell of '47 with his everfpopular gossip column and was a pole vaulter on the cinder squad. We crowned him king of the Junior Prom, a crown and a title he will probably have among fellow M. Dfs in the future. RAYMOND ELMER SITTER Blessed Sacrament Bud Blond, cleanfcut, cheerful Ray, during his four years .at Prep, has probably hooked more catfish than did the famed Isaac Walton during his whole life. Bud not only angles for aquatic vertebrates, but also swims like them, and practically lives their lives in the course of the summer vacation. Ray also specializes in photography and has constructed a darkroom in his home. His activities as a collegiate very likely will brighten the halls of Gannon College. ALOYSIUS ALPHONSE SKRZYPCZAK St. Stanislaus Skipper Skipper is the serious, deadlyfearnest scholar of '47 whose intent concentration and carefully pref pared answers are the envy of his more fickle class' mates. Al is an honor student whose hobbies range from photography to airplane engines. Definitely not a book worm, he is our athletic mathematician with ready figures, latest facts, and accurate percent' ages of Rambler varsities. Come September, Skip will enroll at Gannon and will probably be back at Prep behind a Roman collar and a teachers's position' CHARLES DAVID STANCZAK St. Stanislaus' Charlie Wellfdressed and wellfmannered, Charlie has been stamped as one of the scholars of the Class of '47. Several times an honor student, he has the rather unique hobby of collecting historical papers. Charlie's idea of a pleasant afternoon is a few hours of browsing through the private papers and letters of Washington, Lincoln, and jefferson. He thinks the past is a good teacher. The prospect of doctor, lawyer, or teacher still presents him with his major problem, but Gannon College will undoubtedly provide his next diploma. GEORGE GRANT STEIMER St. Peter's 'LGeorgie A carefree, funfloving, happyfgoflucky Prepster, Georgie is the problem child of the class. His flaming temper, combined with a flair for the incredible, makes him the life of any party. The Glee Club, prom committees, photography club, class reporting, and a one and only Villaitev are his main interests. His size 5' 3 is no handicap in his favorite sports of playing jockey and fisherman. Although undecided as to where he should transplant his school spirit, George is dreaming of a career in journalism. FRANCIS XAVIER STEINER St. Peter's 1.51-Tranrkan Frank is the big little man of our class. Although not much over the iiveffoot mark, Prank carries with him a bounty of mirth and laughter, and those who know him can be wellfassured of a loyal companion. Frank proved his affection for Prep by his eightfmile trip from McKean every morning to receive an educaf tion among Prepsters, of whom he says: I never met a more sociable group of fellows. Frank's photography and radio club activities will provide background for an engineering course at Gannon College. PAUL ADAM SZCZESNY St. Stanislaus' 'iSnooky'i From our good neighbor East, Paul brought his selffexpressed avocations of astronomy and women and completely dispelled the aspects of gloom in our ranks. He played a year of water polo, worked on yearbook ads, and topped it off by being on the Senior honor roll. Snooky says simply, I like Prep, and Prep certainly liked to have him. This future M. D.'s exuberance could cure almost any disease without. medicine of any kind. STANLEY EDWARD SZNAJDER Holy Trinity Stan Stan came to us from Academy in his junior year, and we soon came to realize that he was one of those rare individuals who is, willing to work without glory. A charitable volunteer in every department, he was the ground crew of our dance Committees. He also gave The Litemlae financial life by securing numerous Mads. In Stan's own words, his ambition is to be a success in life and to make others happy -an appropriate motto for every Catholic youth. LEONARD VINCENT TREJCHEL Saint Casimir's Lenny Back in 1045 Lenny was a reasonably short child of about sixffootftwo. Having grown slightly, however, he is now the only Senior who has been able to determine on which side Slim Himes parts his hair. Never to be forgotten as the more than reasonf able facsimile of Santa Claus, Shorty was the life of our juniorfSenior Christmas party. Recognized most readily for his quiet, reserved personality, Len likes to click away his spare moments in photography. Engineering, however, occupies the seat of honor as his life's ambition. RICHARD NATHAN TRCMBETTA St. Andrew's 'L'Tromhetts The 'inosen came and left an indelible impression upon us. Bomber was the perennial thorn in the side of opposition basketball stars and, he bids fair to become one of Prep's all time great hoopsters. This eliervescent, jocund character was the keystone sacker on the championship baseball team, Trombetts is headed for a prefmed course at Notre Dame and we're confident that this cager will avoid the rim, of misfortune and hit the net of success. ROBERT JOSEPH TULLIO Holy Rosary Bob Dark, vital, booming Bob Tullio will be Prep's gift to the world of aviation when they surrender him to a course in aeronautical engineering come next june. Bob's favorite pastime is the kegler art and a big one fifth of an intramural cage quintet. The radio club won his choice in our scientific def Partment. After J.V. football, he is remembered as the varsity rightfhalfback on that rugged '45 outfit. He probably never read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, but he is certainly -entitled to a master's degree in the course it advocates. -.---,- 1 f3 -an I -4? -umm RICHARD JOSEPH WEIBEL Saint Andrew's Dick Perhaps we should call Dick the painstakingly' wrought balancefwheel of the class-evenftempered, unfailingly courteous, and wholesomely serious. Well' groomed, he cannot he pictured with unruly hair or curling collars. He leaves behind him an impressive record of achievements on the Rambler staff and various committees. Dick hopes that his next diploma will commission him into architectural designing, a concise calling to be executed as faultlessly and symmetrically as his four years in our midst. CHARLES DAVID WELSH St. Patrick's Chuck Charlie and his Colgate smile will long be remembered as Prep's jetfpropelled merman. The propeller of the swimming team, he was also the back' bone of the waterfpolo squad and was named to the Times allfscholastic. In the English classes, smoothf ness characterized his writing, and mellow expressive' ness made his reading of poetry enjoyable. After commencement, Chuck will delve into the labyrinths of the human mind, as he did into our opponent's goals, with his hopedffor degree in psychiatry. JAMES HARRISON WHITE St. Patrick's Smiley Tall and darkly handsome, Jim capably answers the description of Mr. Prepster and is the Mr. Basketball a la Hasset or Mikan. He was an honor student, new deal president of '47 for two terms, and a Hrm protector of our rights in the Student Council. His smiling calmness QSmiley was as unflustered in the heat of a hardwood battle as while reposing in a quiet easy chairj made him our captain, an all' scholastic cager, and the best defense man in these parts. Jim was a diamond standout for two years and is headed for a physfed course in college. For Coach Jim, we predict a noffoul, allfbasket success. JOSEPH WALTER WIECZOR EK St. Stanislaus' 5510615 Joe, the worker, eagerly tackles and completes tough assignments, even studies. Junior is blessed with an artistic soul which found expression in the photography and art clubs and his private hobbies of oil painting and coloring. Joe, always a lover of social life, never neglected the beautyfstirring environment of proms and parties. He likes to putter in the Good Earth, and when fancier and more delicate orchids are grown, Joe, The Friendly Family Florist , will grow them for future Prep proms. DANIEL EDWARD WINGERTER St. joseph's WingfDing If you are ever about to enter a discussion with Dannyfboy, think twice! Here is a bubblingly authoritative individual who will instinctively talk the hair right off your head painlessly and pleasantly. However, Danny's highfschool escapades include a a year on bl. V. and varsity football, a membership in the radio club, and a comfortably thick little black book, which proves that he isn't talking all the time. We'll all miss WingfDing's congenial spirit and carefree attitude. RAYMOND PAUL WISNIEVJSKI St. Stanislaus' ..Ray.. If Ray had been living in King Arthur's time, he no doubt would have qualified as a court jester. His Clfgotfafmillionfoffemj jokes and droll antics made him the center of many hilarious student get togethers. Aided by an indomitable spirit and a style entirely his own, he enlivened intramural basketball with his talent. Puttering around with gasfengine models in his extra moments prepares this good student for entrance into the world of wings and engines at Norwich University. ROBERT STANLEY WISNIEWSKI Holy Family Parish uBobo When Bobo rises and reads one of his assignments, one hears a reader whose persuasive tone rivals that of John Nesbitt. When he laughs, he expresses a jolly sense of humor. He is a highlyfpopular, everf zealous classmate who has patiently labored through the various and assorted perils of a Prep education. He's as tall as a cypress and as determined as a goalf line stand, and this determination should carry him far in his future as an engineer. 1 --l-- , , It I I I - iii I, sin g .0 , V..

FTER the architects, the bricklayers, the painters, and the electricians are finished erecting a school, it is then taken over by the headmaster and the teachers. They continue to build, to build classes, characters, and futures. We could scarcely do adequate justice to all the efforts and guidance lavished by these priests and nuns, but we will endeavor to sketch the molders of l47 through our four eventful years. When we arrived in September of 1943, the new school was just emerging under the energetic, universallyfpopular Father Miller. He welcomed us and made Prep a true haven of truth before leaving us for St. Johns a year later. Sister Ann Jeanne became first acquainted with us in English classes in Room 1, Father Gallagher was class advisor and professor of religion, and Sister Patricia was unearthing future Einsteins and Edisons in General Science. Father Radziszewski gave us Latin, the inside of sports, and jfV basketball points and pointers while the other sections received the art of laudo, laudas, laudat from precise Father Kaltenbach. Cherubic Sister Eugenia gave us ancient history liberally sprinkled with current affairs, and in feverishly active but easily the fa stestfmoving classes, Sister Teresa Marie opened the world of x and y to our meager grasp. We ref gretted the departure of our dignified, understanding history teacher, Father Garman. Father Kuziora was head football and basketball coach with Father Schlindwein as his weighty assistant. Expansion was really under way as Prep welcomed the new headmaster, Father IvIcDonald, in 1944. With dauntless spirit and uncomplaining perseverance, Father IvIcDonald put Prep on the athletic and scholastic map. '4'7's grammar and literature came under the tutelage of our class advisor and the guiding genius behind our Snow Shoe Shuffle, Father Daniszewski. Diminutive Sister Zita taught us, and Johnny Sorge, the complexities of geometry, Father Kaltenbach still struggled with Latin and was joined by Father Sperry. Sister Eugenia still labored with history and taught us the oui oui of French. Sister Ann Jeanne was now the si si imparter of Spanish and had assumed a position she was to hold until graduation- decorator par excellencell to '4'7. Religion was now in the capable hands of dynamic Father Fleckenstein, and softfspoken, pleasant Sister Margaret Marry helped us open our eyes to the vast world about us with the key of biology. In our Junior year, another influx of teachers gave us Father Scheffner and his slants on Deutsch , Father Schriefer, who imparted a little of old Athens to our future priests, and the indefatigable trig emissary, Sister Imelda, who gave us the cue for the neverftofbefforgotten decorations for the Rainbow Rhapsody. Father Daniszewski highlighted another year as class advisor with our Junior Prom, and we owed an unpayable debt to Sister Adelaide for her lessons in logical thinking and exact correctness. Scrupulous Father Wiley taught Religion, and Sister Aloysia taught French, Spanish and Latin. Sister Patricia rates our profound appreciation for our first lessons on the harmony of Religion and Science. Our highest tribute, as juniors, goes to Father Sperry for Latin, for the inf - v1i1f 'llll 'll ll ll acuffy comparable Rambler, and for neverftofbefforgotten lessons in humility. Mr. Ivlarietta gave us our first band and best Glee Club. Mr. Harrison drilled us and the football team, and Mr. Yezerski gave us new basketball laurels and confidence. As exalted Seniors, we met the Dean of Discipline, Father WHtSO1l,21S a professor, class advisor, and world authority. Under his reign we staged the inimitable Serenade in Silver. Versatile Father Paul gave us physics, clubs, and debating champions. Pugnacious Father Geddes handled Greek, likeable Father Hemighaus taught German seasoned with basketball, and Sister Ann Jeanne and Sister Virginia still worked with Spanish. Amiable Father Fitzgerald introduced us to U. S. History, aided and abetted by thorough, authori, tative Father Gallagher. Father Sperry still had one lone Latin class, and goodfnatured Father Quinn took over swimming and trig. After ably directing athletics for three years, the everfpopular Father Hastings left for a pastorate in Harborcreek. He was succeeded by Father James Gannon, who witnessed a new era in sports during the coaching reigns of Mr. Sowle, Mr. Strosser, Father Quinn, and Father Tutokie. Cur orchids as a class go to Father Daniszewski for three years of English, but more, for three years of invaluable, balanced Catholic concepts for tomorrow. To these, men and women in Christ, we owe our entire future. Our success will be a fitting monument to their nameg our failure, not an indictment of them, but of us. The Ship that is Prep will ever sail smoothly forward with the Bishop at the helm, manned by this unselfish crew. -The Senior Class THE SILVER LIGHT There was lost in Godls vast ocean Of eternal spacious sky, A silver star whose humble light Had not yet pierced the eye. But the foe arid twenty years have passed Which found that irifarit light, And now its beams which day had blurred Are flooded down by night. Time has seeri her towers looming, Time has heard the joyous booming As the bells of jubilation Rumble forth iri exaltationg- N 'Tis the Silver jubilee. Richard Scibetta '47 Junior Thrasonicisms E, the Class of 1948, deem it unnecessary to begin our chronicle with the usual presentation of the multiple bests we possess. We let the reader draw his own conclusions. We will express what we are, not what we think we are, we will state facts and not theories, the truth and only the truth. September 1, 1946 brought the reopening of school, and we, with the rest cf the student body, began the year with Holy Mass, celebrated by Father McDonald. Naturally, the following day was unanimously chosen as the day for the custcmary and scmewhat boisterous adminif stering of initiation. We say boisterous because we as Juniors and upper classmen have attained a feeling of maturity and superiority. Realizing, moreover, what is or is not proper for dignihed juniors, we left the greater part of the traditional initiation ceremony to the willing and adept Sophomores. From that day on, we took and held our prefdestined place in the top ranks of the school. Cur class furnished out' standing material for the football, basketball, and baseball teams, for all other intramural and scholastic' sports, and for the Band and the Clee Club. Father Martin The members of '48 who received honors as firstfrate students were numerous. We supported all school activities-the Bishops' War Relief Campaign Ceven though we met our masters in our beloved Seniorsj, va rious Red Cross and Community Chest Drives, and the Prep Activities Club. We presented an unusually successful Christmas party for our big brothers the Seniors, we won the Sports Night Trophy, presented by the PAC, and we presented a Junior Prom completely unsurpassed, even by the hereftoffore unsurpassable Rainbow Rhapsody and Serenade in Silver. Our prcm was as soothing as its name and melody Moonlight and Roses. Lastly, we edited The Rambler, F.rie's most successful newspaper for over four years. We heartily believe that we did at least our share in keeping the school just what it should be. We are grateful to our teachers and to each other for the fun we have had, for the companionship we hive enjoyed, for what we have accomplished as a unit. In a word, we are grateful to each and every person who helped make our regime a success. But we could never have achieved this litany of successes without the selffsacrificing help of a genial, youthfunderstanding priest, whom we will always remember as a true friend and classmate of every Junior-Father Martin.

Last fall, we were royally welcomed in with the traditional initiations. For most of us, it was ,F the first time we wore lipstick, at least on our legs. We were relieved when it was over, and we settled down to the routine we learned to love. Q 1. lla After sessions of feverish campaigning, we were united under the leadership of our first set of class officers. We chose john Konkol to be president, Donald Strike, vicefpresidentg john Haller, secretary, and Norman Grode, treasurer. These four men worked in close harmony with another newcomer to Prep, our Oblate class advisor, Fr. Flecksteiner. To this unassuming priest with a knack for getting things done quickly, we owe the formula for our frosh and future triumphs. Father Flecksteiner Scholastically, we showed that our superior numbers would overshadow all the upper classmen at honors time. By this we demonstrated that we had absorbed the true purpose of a Prep education. On the athletic side, many of our worthy classmates began climbing the rungs of the new Prep Sports Ladder. These worthy sons of '50 sparked the Junior Varsity football and court teams to city championships and provided the example for the tremendous enthusiasm and participation in intramural competition. Fr. Hemighaus organized Prep's first Freshman team, and they swept seventeen out of twentyffive games to preview future Prep domination in city court circles. The rest of us provided the lion's share of the cheering at all Prep games. With the close of the third quarter, we staged our debut in Prep social life and held our impressive dance event, The Tearling. jack Crotty served as general chairman and Herbie Johnson provided the music. We are grateful to Sr. Imelda and the Art Club for their decorative suggestions and aid, which insured our success on that eventful April eighteenth. After this first year of trial with its glorious fuliillments, we are convinced that we can't help but succeed under the guidance of our teachers, who are so completely devoted to our advancement. We offer our sincerest gratitude and promise to remember always their wise counsel. We are proud to be Prepsters. Cur only wish is that Prep may always be proud of the Class of 1950. john Konlgol, President HK Cfze yearfinqs exfzifif wide-eyed wonder 4-as af ffze newness of cz gprep educafion Initiation . . .

From the very beginning, in true motherly fashion, the Prep Mothers have heaped benefits upon their child, the Prep school. In the dark days, they bought the gridders new sweaters. Next they supplied countless books for the library. They donated The Home window to the school library at a cost of five hundred dollars. Their latest contribution has been their greatest-our two thousand dollar windfall. The fact that our band has the nattiest uniforms in the city is directly traceable to the women who have been clothing us since birth-our Mothers. We are grateful for more than the sweaters, the books, the library window, and the band uniforms. We are thankful for the generous overflowing of love from the home. We would like to paraphrase Lincoln and say, For all we have been given and for all the toil lavished on our undeserving selves, we thank Cod for our angel Prep Mothers.

At Prep, a powerful third party behind the scenes gives its faithful assurance of complete assistf ance, monetary or otherwise. It is the Prep Dads. Organized in' April of 1946, the Prep Dads number 100 men, who have become the golden cincture of friendship that has held together the cordial relationship between a Prepster at school and a Prepster at home. Thus far, the Dads have concentrated on the athletic future of the Prep School. Our unmatched football equipment is greatly the result of their car raffle last summer. At present they are laboring to convert St. josephls Home's vacant lot into a football practice field and field house. Moreover these men provide, rain or snow, an unfailing, moralefraising audience at Prep games. The Prep teams fight harder because they know their Dads are in the stands. May their number increase tenfold. Standing at the Plateg Thanks, Kindly Knights. 1 -mu mon-as E 4 I At the Baseball Banquet At the Knights of Columbus Football Banquet Cleft to rightb-Fr.

No ads, all news---The eyes and ears of Prep school Broadway reads and extols the merits of the Timesg Chicago and Chicagoans swear by the printed word under the Sung Pittsburgh is proud of Sr. Imelda and the Post Gazette. In Erie, the last word in secondary schools is Prep, the highest endeavor in scholastic journalism is the voice of the Prepster, Fr. James Sperry's Rambler. The Rambler, too, has a long and turbulent career, running the gauntlet from the Subterranean News and the Cryptic to the present form now celebrating its third anniversary. In 1934, three Catholic schools jointly published a paper which featured as its Hagerty or Bill Stern of that time, a Prepster subf scribing to the name, James Sperry. In this personage lie the entire success and future of our monthly journal. Each year, this dark, curlyfhaired, mildfmannered priest from St. Josephs Home adopts the current Junior class, enlists the aid of the English professors, molds an editorial staff, recruits a photographer and an artist, wears a path between the Prep school and the printer's with his luxurious Chevie , burns the midnight oil, and comes up once a month with the eightfpage masterpiece which is oiiicially the school newspaper. Under his care, The Rambler has become the connecting link between the Prep of the past and the Prep of the present. In its travels to servicemen overseas, it has brought only good will, melancholy remembrances, and the very breath of the Prep school to its graduates. It has chronicled, more forcibly than anything else, the dayfbyfday emergence of Prep into the sun of scholastic and athletic success. Among its irreplaceable features directly traceable to the guiding genius behind its every headline are some found only at Prep. There are no ads. This paper is good enough to be in a demand great enough to pay for itself without any commercialization. The class columns, The Corn Is Green, Vox Discipalorum, and its serious editorials put it in a class by itself. Its pictures have been known to scoop our daily news sheets, and its reporting is easily a model in candor and clearness. We put The Rambler on a par with any athletic undertaking and boast about it just as proudly as we did about our city basketball championship. Much credit obviously belongs to the Junior Classes of '46, '47, and '48, to the English professors, but most, of course, to Father Sperry. - 'K 'K 41 Marshall of Student Dutres Defender of Student Rights Martin William Bee er Paul Speice Dave Anthony Adani Gors i Standing Ray Droney ac Hagerty Mi e Palrnisano ini Detzel Vitus Kaiser Don Fessler Kon ol and Fred Kelsey were absent when the picture was ta en With Song, They Drew the Angels Down Fr Martin Mr Marietta and Glee Club I 0 9 O l O 9 O Seated Qleft to rightj-fini White, john januleslgi, Dick Scibetta, Ed Hyziewicz, Student Council Advisor Fr.
